Unmotivated 16 Year Old

My 16 year old daughter is very smart, but is very unmotivated to complete her school work, therefor seems to be running a C average in almost everything. I speak to her teachers who say she 'drifts off' in class. She often gets zeros for homework she 'does not feel like doing'. I realize a C average is not the end of the world, but I know she is capable of more and would like her to be able to go to college. I have taken away privliges, offered incentives, etc, and she says she will do better, and may for a very short time, then its back...

Attitude and Self-injury

I have a 12-year-old boy whose academic performance has slowly deteriorated throughout this academic year and whose personal integrity has surfaced to insecurity. He is quite unorganized. He has a school agenda that is full of doodles rather than homework assignments. My son is not an excellent student, although I am told he could be if only he had the "right attitude", but up to now he has been passing with reasonable marks. However, this past term he has failed 4 classes. This past week at school his counselor informed me he put paint in...

17 Year Old Daughter Doesn't Do Anything Ever, Very Moody Angry

My 17 year old daughter is a senior in high school. She goes to school, she comes home, she plays on her phone. I've been telling her for months to get an after school job, I've even went as far as to help her apply, but she won't apply unless I'm sitting in her face. It's like she has absolutely no motivation to do anything at all. She now thinks that because school has started back up that she shouldn't have to do chores around the house. Her room is a pigsty, not like regular messy but overboard to the point of you can't even walk...

Follow up on Prior question...son's GF Attempted Suicide

I'm just stunned. So I asked yesterday about how to handle that my son (16) partied with his GF (17) and another couple she's friends with over the weekend instead of sleeping over a friend's house like he said he was. I figured it out yesterday morning, confronted him after school, he fessed up and handed over his phone and iPad and is grounded. I called her mom last night (who I don't know well at all) to tell her about what happened, advised her to check her phone for risque pictures and asked her to call me back at some point and let...
